Washington reports show State Department optimism over a decline in North Vietnamese troop infiltration into South Vietnam while the Defense Department offers a gloomier view stating the enemy is largely replacing losses. Officials cite ongoing negotiations for withdrawal of non South Vietnamese forces and provide monthly casualty and infiltration figures. In a separate note from La Bussiere France, Remy Bellot marked his 102nd birthday in his Alpine village.
